Parents and caregivers are urged to immediately stop using any Nara Organics Whole Milk Organic Infant Formula. These products are available online and at some major retailers nationwide.

As of June 13, 2026, three cases of infant botulism associated with the consumption of Nara Organics Whole Milk Organic Infant Formula have been reported in California, Pennsylvania, and Washington.

Infant botulism is a serious illness that can occur when Clostridium botulinum spores are swallowed and grow in a baby’s intestines, producing a toxin that affects the nerves and muscles. This can make it difficult for a baby to eat, swallow, cry, move, or breathe.

Early signs often include constipation, followed by symptoms such as:
• Poor feeding
• Difficulty sucking or swallowing
• A weak or unusual cry
• Loss of head control
• Decreased facial expression

Symptoms can take several weeks to appear. If your infant consumed Nara Organics Whole Milk Organic Infant Formula, monitor them for symptoms for one month after their last feeding. Wash any bottles, utensils, containers, and surfaces that may have come into contact with the formula using hot, soapy water or a dishwasher.

Seek immediate medical care if your infant develops any symptoms of infant botulism after consuming Nara Organics Whole Milk Organic Infant Formula.

Padres, madres y cuidadores: Se recomienda suspender de inmediato el uso de cualquier producto de Nara Organics Whole Milk Organic Infant Formula. Estos productos están disponibles en línea y en algunos de los principales establecimientos minoristas del país.

Hasta el 13 de junio de 2026, se han reportado tres casos de botulismo infantil asociados con el consumo de Nara Organics Whole Milk Organic Infant Formula en California, Pensilvania y Washington.

El botulismo infantile es una enfermedad grave que puede ocurrir cuando las esporas de Clostridium botulinum son ingeridas y crecen en los intestinos del bebé, produciendo una toxina que afecta los nervios y los músculos. Esto puede dificultar que el bebé coma, trague, llore, se mueva o respire.

Los primeros signos suelen incluir estreñimiento, seguidos de síntomas como:
• Alimentación deficiente o disminución del apetito
• Dificultad para succionar o tragar
• Pérdida del control de la cabeza
• Disminución de las expresiones faciales

Los síntomas pueden tardar varias semanas en aparecer. Si su bebé consumió Nara Organics Whole Milk Organic Infant Formula, vigílelo atentamente para detectar síntomas durante un mes después de la última alimentación con esta fórmula. Lave todos los biberones, utensilios, recipientes y superficies que puedan haber estado en contacto con la fórmula utilizando agua caliente con jabón o en el lavavajillas.

Busque atención médica de inmediato si su bebé presenta cualquier síntoma de botulismo infantil después de consumir Nara Organics Whole Milk Organic Infant Formula.

As temperatures begin to rise during summer, it becomes harder for your body to stay cool. Hot and humid weather can overwhelm your body’s natural cooling system. When you heat up too quickly or lose too much fluid or salt through sweating, heat‑related illness can occur.

Solano County library branches are open as cooling centers during regular operating hours. For additional cooling resources in your area, contact your local city offices.

Stay safe and stay hydrated☀️.

California’s Summer Food Program for Children, also known as SUN Bucks, provides $120 per eligible child to help families buy food during the summer when school is out. SUN Bucks cards, which work just like CalFresh benefits, will begin arriving in late May and will continue to be delivered through this fall.

Most eligible families do not need to take any action, as children who qualify for free or reduced-price school meals, or receive CalFresh, California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs), and/or Medi-Cal are automatically enrolled. Children will also be automatically enrolled if their school identifies them as being in foster care, experiencing homelessness, or part of a migrant family.

Families of children who are not automatically enrolled may apply by submitting a school meal application or Universal Benefits Application to their child’s school by August 31, 2026, to receive SUN Bucks benefits for summer 2026.

For cardholder assistance, the SUN Bucks helpline is available 24/7 at (877) 328-9677. Live agents are available Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. – 8 p.m. To check your benefit balance and claim status, visit the California EBT cardholder website.

El Programa de Alimentos de Verano para Niños de California, conocido como SUN Bucks, proporciona $120 por cada niño elegible para ayudar a las familias a comprar alimentos durante el verano cuando no hay clases. Las tarjetas SUN Bucks, que funcionan igual que los beneficios de CalFresh, comenzarán a llegar a finales de mayo y continuarán distribuyéndose durante el otoño.

La mayoría de las familias elegibles no necesitan realizar ninguna acción, ya que los niños que califican para comidas escolares gratuitas o a precio reducido, o que reciben CalFresh, CalWORKs y/o Medi-Cal, son inscritos automáticamente.

Los niños también serán inscritos automáticamente si su escuela los identifica como:
• Estar en cuidado de crianza temporal
• Estar en situación de falta de vivienda
• Formar parte de una familia migrante

Las familias en cual los hijos no han sido inscritos automáticamente pueden solicitar los beneficios presentando una Solicitud de Comidas Escolares o una Solicitud Universal de Beneficios en la escuela de su hijo antes del 31 de agosto de 2026, para recibir los beneficios de SUN Bucks para el verano de 2026.

Para asistencia con la tarjeta, la línea de ayuda de SUN Bucks está disponible las 24 horas del día, los 7 días de la semana, al (877) 328-9677. Los representantes de servicio están disponibles de lunes a viernes, de 6:00 a.m. a 8:00 p.m.

Pertussis (also known as whooping cough) is a highly contagious bacterial disease that can be spread by coughing. People with pertussis may have severe coughing attacks that can last for months. Newborns are at the highest risk for complications of pertussis.

As whooping cough cases continue to increase in nearby areas, including Monterey County, public health officials are reminding residents to stay up to date on recommended immunizations.

Whooping cough can spread easily and symptoms may vary by age. In children, pertussis often begins with a cough and runny nose for 1–2 weeks before worsening into rapid coughing fits that may end with a “whooping” sound. Young infants may not have a typical cough but can experience episodes where they stop breathing or their face turns red or purple.

Vaccination remains the best protection for children, teens, adults, and pregnant individuals. Adult healthcare workers and individuals who care for infants should make sure they have received at least one dose of the pertussis vaccine (Tdap) to help prevent spreading infection to those most at risk.

Most insurance plans, including Medi-Cal, cover the cost of pertussis immunizations. If your child is entering childcare, kindergarten, or seventh grade this fall, make sure to contact your medical provider early to confirm their immunizations are up to date and meet school entry requirements.

To find an immunization provider near you, visit https://myturn.cdph.ca.gov/.

On May 5, 2026, the Solano County Board of Supervisors recognized May 2026 as Older Americans Month in Solano County, honoring an estimated 112,500 residents aged 60 and over whose time, experience, and contributions continue to strengthen families and communities across the County.

This year’s national theme, “Champion Your Health,” highlights prevention, wellness, and personal responsibility as the foundation of healthy aging, encouraging older adults to stay active, engaged, and supported in all aspects of well-being.

The recognition emphasized that communities thrive when families, caregivers, and local partners work together to empower older adults and people with disabilities to lead healthy, independent, and fulfilling lives. It also reaffirmed Solano County’s commitment to providing services and programs that help older adults thrive, including ongoing efforts through the Solano County Master Plan on Aging and Disability to expand access to resources and support healthy aging choices.

On May 5, 2026, the Solano County Board of Supervisors officially recognized May as Mental Health Awareness Month and May 4–10, 2026 as Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week in Solano County.🤱🌸

These observances provide an opportunity to highlight the importance of mental wellness at every stage of life, including during pregnancy and postpartum, while emphasizing early intervention, crisis response, and access to care. In California, 1 in 3 individuals reports symptoms of depression or anxiety during or after pregnancy, underscoring the need for early identification, reducing barriers to care, and strengthening community-based support for individuals and families.

This need is reflected in ongoing efforts across Solano County. In 2025, Solano County Behavioral Health served more than 7,300 individuals with mental health services, while crisis response programs continued supporting adults, youth, and families throughout the county. Solano County also continues to prioritize maternal mental health through its Maternal, Child, and Adolescent Health (MCAH) efforts, including initiatives like Safe Spaces: Enhancing Perinatal Mental Wellness at Home, which expands access to in-home screening, therapy, crisis intervention, and evidence-based support for pregnant and parenting individuals.

Together, these efforts reflect this year’s Mental Health Awareness Month theme, “More Good Days, Together,” and a shared commitment to prevention, support, recovery, and strengthening overall well-being for our community. 💜🌿
